Inflating Instructions

Before starting, locate a clean area free of stones or other sharp objects. Unroll the boat so it is laid

out flat, and locate your pump.

Use a hand or foot operated air pump to inflate the boat. Do not use high-pressure air compressors.

Adults should inflate the chambers following the numerical sequence marked on the valves. It is very

important to follow the numerical sequence; failure to do so will result in an improperly inflated boat.

Fill each chamber until it is stiff to the touch but NOT hard. Use the enclosed ruler to check the main

chamber for proper inflation. DO NOT OVER INFLATE. Fill with cold air only.

IMPORTANT:

Air temperature and weather condition do affect the internal air pressure of inflatable

products. In cold weather the product will lose some pressure due to the fact that the air will contract.

If this occurs, you may want to add a little air to the product. However, in hot weather, the air will

expand. You must let some air out to prevent the product from failing due to overpressure.

How to Use Boston Valve:

1. Double valve cap (valve lets air in, not out).

2. Quick deflation cap.

3. Unscrew Double valve cap.

4. Insert output end of air pump into valve and fill. Do not over inflate or use high pressure

compressor.

5. To deflate: unscrew quick-deflation cap.

CAUTION:

Double valve does not operate when this cap

is off. Do not unscrew this cap while boat or inflatable is in water.

2. Attach the seat cushion hinge to the hinge on the boat. Repeat the

connection on the other side and for all seats. See Fig A.

3. Finish inflating the seat cushions slowly until it is firm to the touch

but NOT hard. DO NOT OVER INFLATE!

4. To disassemble the seats, deflate the seats first and reverse the

installation procedures.

NOTE:

Some seat cushions after inflation are tuck in directly into

the fore, mid or aft locations of the boat cockpit. No hinges.

Mariner 3 / Mariner 4:

Inflate each seat cushion slowly to about 75% of its capacity.

Put the seat cushions into the fore, mid or aft locations of the boat cockpit.

Finish inflating the seat cushions slowly until it is firm to the touch but NOT hard. DO NOT OVER

INFLATE!

Seat cushions after inflation are tuck in directly into the fore, mid or aft locations of the boat cockpit.

To disassemble the seats, deflate the seats first and reverse the installation procedures.

Oar Assembly:

Insert “Shaft A” with the pin end first into the blade. Make sure the pin is securely fastened to the blade.

Insert the assembled “Shaft A” through the oar-lock with the blade towards outboard (water).

Place the retainer ring onto the other end of the assembled “Shaft A”, from inside of the boat.

•

Check inflation pressure.

•

Inspect the valves caps.

•

Check the load is evenly distributed, fore (front) to aft (back) and side-to-side.

Make sure that all required safety equipment is on board (check the laws and regulations of the

country or locality in which you are boating to see if additional equipment may be needed):

•

One personal flotation device (PFD) per person.

•

Air pump, oars, repair kit and tool kit.

•

Any other mandatory equipment.

•

The boat papers and your boating license (if applicable).

Rules to Observe During Navigation

•

Be responsible, do not neglect the safety rules, this could jeopardize your life and the lives of

others.

•

Always keep control of your boat.

•

Respect local regulations and practices.

•

Near the shore, navigate in the designated boating area.

•

Remember that weather conditions can rapidly deteriorate. Always be sure that you can reach a

shelter rapidly.

•

Everyone on board must always wear a personal flotation device (PFD).

•

Do not drink alcohol or take drugs before or while operating your boat. Maintain passenger

sobriety.

•

Do not exceed the authorized number of persons or weight.

•

Make sure your passengers remain seated at all times. At planning speeds, in rough water or

during sharp turns, all passengers should position themselves in seats or on the floor.

•

No bow riding. Bow riding is illegal in most areas and is extremely dangerous. In case of falling,

the man overboard is in the way of the propeller.

•

Be especially careful when docking. Arms and legs may be injured if they are outside the boat.

•

Keep clear of swimmers and divers. Always avoid areas where divers/swimmers are in the water.

•

Keep a sharp lookout especially when operating near beaches and launch sites. The Alpha flag

indicates proximity of divers. You MUST maintain a safe distance as required by your local boating

laws, which may range from 50 meters (164 feet) to 91 meters (300 feet).

•

Avoid sharp turns at high speeds. You could get ejected from the boat.

•

Do not make changes in direction without advising passengers.

•

Avoid all contact between the buoyancy tubes and sharp objects or aggressive liquids (such as

acid).

•

Do not smoke on board. Most importantly while filling the fuel tank.

•

Any fuel spilled must be cleaned and disposed of according to local laws and regulations.

Care and Maintenance

The boat is made of the highest quality materials and complies with ISO 6185 standards. Altering the

construction of the boat will endanger your own safety, safety of the occupants and void the limited

warranty!

There is very little that you have to do to keep your boat in good condition for many years. You may

store it inflated or deflated. If you leave it outside, raise it up off the ground and do not place any

heavy or sharp objects on it. If it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves or rain, cover it

with a tarp. We do not recommend hanging the boat. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage,

we suggest you pick a cool, dry place, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you store it - or

mold can accumulate.

Use as few cleaning agents as possible, do not discharge waste agents into water, and clean your

boat preferably on land.

Clean your boat after a trip to prevent damage from sand, salt water or sun exposure.

Most dirt can be removed with a garden hose, a sponge and mild soap. Make sure the boat is

completely dry before storing. Store the product and accessories in a dry, temperature controlled,

between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius)

storage location.

Disassembly and Storage

First clean your boat thoroughly following the Care and Maintenance instructions. Open all air valves

and deflate boat completely. Remove all the accessories from the boat; seats, fishing rod holders,

oars, gear pouch and battery pouch.

Fold the left and right chambers of the boat towards the middle of the floor. It is not necessary to

remove the slats to fold the boat. Fold the bow end twice to the middle of the boat tightly while

forcing out any remaining air; repeat this procedure for the stern. With two opposing folded sides,

fold one end over the other like closing a book. Replace all inflation valve caps. Your boat is ready

for storage. Fold the boat loosely and avoid sharp bends, corners and creases which can damage

the boat.

Troubleshooting

If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the boat was inflated late in the day

with 32 °C (90 °F) air, that air might cool down to 25 °C (77 °F) overnight. The cooler air exerts less

pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning.

If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak:

•

Take a good look at your boat from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the

outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.

•

If you have an idea where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray

bottle, and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the

location of the leak.

•

Check valves for leak, if necessary, spray soapy water around the valve and the valve base.

Repairs

Through constant use you may occasionally puncture your boat. Most leaks only take a few minutes to

repair. Your boat comes with a repair patch, and additional repair supplies can be ordered from Intex

Consumer Service or from our website.

First locate the leak; soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Thoroughly clean the

area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.

Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 1.5 cm (1/2”).

Round off the edges, and place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS DOWN FIRMLY. You

may want to use a weight on top to keep it in place.

Do not inflate in 30 minutes after patching.

If the patch does not hold, you can purchase a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping mats,

tents or shoes from your local market to patch your boat, please refer to the instruction of the glue for

patching.
